Not unless you want to extend it to Sierra Leone.

I would have isolated Africa from the rest of the world. I think Oz had the right idea.

Though I was clearly wrong. Ebola was supposed to be growing exponentially. Looks like I fell for the media hype.

Jeremy Hunt was a member of the Conservative party the last time I checked

He is a member of parliament so a moron. Makes no difference which party he is with. The only people who care about that round here are you and DA. I am surprised either of you think it makes a difference.

Can't we just resurrect Hadrian's wall?

Dr. Findlay still uses wire brush and dettol.

Interesting you bring the Tories into this - what has politics got to do with it? Labour are just as incomptent as Tories you know.

Good news! Jeremy Hunt has announced that the unfortunate patient is to be transferred to London as soon as possible

Seems like a bit of an insult to the Scottish medical community, though. Is Dr. Findlay not good enough for the Tories?

The only suitable isolation unit is in London. If that becomes full the surge capacity is available in Liverpool, Sheffield and Newcastle.

When they tested someone back in November in Newcastle had they had been found to be infected they would have been transferred to London even though the ward they were in would be used for current patient No 3.

There could be a zombie apocalypse in Scotland and no one would notice

1) Pale pasty skin - check
2) Slurred unintelligible speech - check
3) Shambling aimless around town centres accosting passers by - check
4) Found looking for food in bins - check (although not sure zombies do this)

probably!

Less than 12 hours of exposure from arrival to the ER, very small window of chance...

BBC News - Ebola case confirmed in Glasgow hospital

Put up your barricades, break out your shotguns, and go and hide in the cellar with your Army surplus tinned food

Confirmation Scotland is a third world country?

The greater risk would be somebody who was not a health worker, less likely to take proper action in time and rather more reasons why it would spread.

Anyway, panic 2:

BBC News - Madagascar plague outbreak kills 40, says WHO

Now now Mr DidIt.

A spokesman has said that the victim is in an isolation room and is being fed pizza and pancakes......

F\/ck! Run for the hills!

[TestMangler]

In Glasgow? It's won't last 5 minutes in a kebab and buckfast heavy immune system. Move along, nothing to see here.

Had it last week, bugger to get rid of.

Or maybe that was a cold.
